WARNING
Risk to life through electrocution!
Before any cleaning and maintenance work, isolate the
appliance from the power supply.
To ensure correct operation of the appliance, the following
inspections and maintenance steps should be carried out.
The frequency with which maintenance work needs to be carried
out depends on the installation location, for example on the level
of dust.
5.1

Cleaning the appliance casing

Use a dry cloth to clean the outside of the appliance. If it is very
dirty, slightly moisten the cloth. Ensure that no moisture enters
the inside of the appliance. Never use scouring or cleaning agents.
5.2

Cleaning the fluff filter

5.2.1 Normal cleaning
To protect the heat exchanger against dirt, a fluff filter is integrated
behind the inlet grille. Dirty fluff filters restrict the air flow and
reduce the appliance efficiency.
For normal use, it is sufficient to check and, if necessary, clean
the fluff filter once a month.
» Switch the appliance OFF.
» Wait until the fan has stopped.
» Without removing the inlet grille, clean the inlet grille and
the fluff filter located behind it with a vacuum cleaner.
Only remove the inlet grille if there is dirt on the appliance which
cannot be removed by a vacuum cleaner. In that case, proceed
as follows:

5.2.2 Heavy duty cleaning
» Switch the appliance OFF.
» Wait until the fan has stopped.
» Undo both screws on the inlet grille.
» Lift the inlet grille slightly and pull it forwards and away from
the appliance.
A safety switch ensures that the fan stops as soon as inlet grille
and fluff filter are removed.
» Remove the fluff filter carefully.
» Clean the fluff filter with a brush and then rinse with
lukewarm water.
» Let the fluff filter dry.
» Reinsert the fluff filter.
» Re-attach the inlet grille using the two screws.
Never operate the appliance without a fluff filter.
